PLOT...It’s just another night at the morgue for a father (Brian Cox) and son (Emile Hirsch) team of coroners, until an unidentified, highly unusual corpse comes in. Discovered buried in the basement of the home of a brutally murdered family, the young Jane Doe—eerily well preserved and with no visible signs of trauma—is shrouded in mystery. As they work into the night to piece together the cause of her death, the two men begin to uncover the disturbing secrets of her life. Soon, a series of terrifying events make it clear: this Jane Doe may not be dead. The latest from Trollhunter director Andre Ovredal is a scarily unpredictable, supernatural shocker that never lets up.

This is without doubt one of the best horror releases of 2017, an amazing story that's original and genuinely scary and creepy with a good tense build up right from the beginning! The movie paces out well with the mystery of Jane doe unravelling throughout! good little twists and turns, plenty of bloody moments, nothing overly gory but bloody! lots of graphic autopsy moments so if your a bit screamish you may look away, The budget is great, very stylish and good looking set pieces throughout, strong cast, good music score, its a perfect horror all round, make sure you check out this little gem!!

Decent modern horror films are rare these days, most seem to be the same old tired cliches... but this is different.

Although there are some good "made you jump" moments, this film is all about setting the mood, it's creepy as hell, and made all the better with great performances from the two lead actors (It's pretty much a two-hander for most of the film). Brian Cox in particular is brilliant in this.

If you like slashers where a madman with an axe chases teenagers through the woods, this one ain't for you.

I've seen a couple of comments saying it's too short, I thought it was just about right.Far too many films struggle to fill a couple of hours and as a result have a lot of "filler".

This proved to be one of those truly excellent finds, we had not heard anything about it before hand and right from the start the movie and story line was gripping and kept gripping us in all the right places for the entire movie. The small cast of believable, creditable actors and the limited set and timeline (i.e. all the action taking place in a couple of rooms over one night) proved the making of this movie. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

This movie’s biggest problem is that it just isn’t long enough to satisfy its premise. Don’t believe the 1 star reviews that leave no explanations - the movie is not totally rubbish, it just wasn’t developed the way it could have been.

The basic story of a Father / Son mortuary team who perform an autopsy on an unidentified woman lacks depth and the ‘revelations’ that come with the procedure (and which should have moved the story along) are really just a series of ‘ooo what’s this?’ moments.

In terms of fear factor there are no real scares in this film. The scares that are there are predictable and short. That said, the film’s atmosphere is claustrophobic and the visuals are very visceral. There is just enough there to keep you interested.

Overall I’m not surprised that this movie has hit the Netflix pile instead of mainstream on-demand. It could have been so much more. Watch it but don’t buy it, find another way

Excellent creepy horror film with lots of atmosphere the tone of dread maintains throughout and continues to the end. Saw a lot of horrors in 2017 it seemed like they were all the same just possession after possession after possession that it became tiresome and embarrassing. Out of the 30ish horror films I saw in 2017 only four including The Autopsy of Jane Doe were films I enjoyed. Annabelle Creation, Get Out and It all had there merits and few flaws only two were original and not sequels but compared to the huge amount of cheap forgettable horror movies like Rings, Eloise, The Bye Bye Man, Anna etc they are classics in my book. Set at a morgue late at night a Mortician and his son get a corpse which a police officer needs to be checked for the clues to how she died and who is responsible. Simple premise but with lots to enjoy from start to end lots of horror films could learn a lot from this. Both actors do a great job and the Director even more so. One of my favourite films of the year.

It's good to see Brian Cox taking on a lead role for a change as he is a really underrated actor. He plays a coroner who with the help of his trainee son are asked to autopsy the body of a Jane Doe who seems to have died from unknown causes in very suspicious circumstances. As they begin work on her, they find various items symbolic with the occult hidden inside her body even though the exterior shows no sign of trauma whatsoever. Many of her bodily organs have been either cut or marked in some way adding to the mystery. I don't want to add anymore as it might spoil it but let's just say that the first half to two thirds of the film is really good but then it goes off a bit when the son's girlfriend comes back as it was almost reminiscent of 'Oculus.' That aside the director pulls it back together and produces a very decent ending.

The film lines up as a low budget episode of CSI, fortunately for those of us looking for something a bit different and unique it quickly switches to supernatural horror.Its creepy and intriguing. But to short.

This film scared me in parts where I watched through cupped hands over my face but peeked through a small gap I made!!! A film to enjoy of thriller/horror that slipped under the radar when online only. Glad it's in my horror section. Great acting, spookyily well thought out film. One if it's kind. Very good.
